F8 Wait times….

There's a fairly extensive thread of shared experiences in the 'Order Status ' thread

 

if it was a tributo u would be getting it soon.spiders next year

 

It was just over 16 months for my spider. Your dealer can push you back if they give the allocations to other clients. Not cool, but it happens.

 

I waited just under 18 months, which was about what I was told.

 

28 months sounds very unreasonable. I was 20 months but the average is 18 - 20 months. I highly suspect your dealership is giving allocations to other clients. My concern would be your order being canceled since production for the F8 will be ending soon.

 

There is much discussion on the "Order Status" thread about Ferrari not taking any more orders for any F8 model after like last October '21. The theory being if you did not have an accepted order with spec'd out car from Italy with deposit down by then, you could not get an allocation. I hope there are not situations where folks are led to believe they are in a que that in actuality doesn't exist. Good luck.

 

Given that the 296 is ramping up in the next couple of months, I would imagine that F8 production will end around July 2023 or sooner. Take 2-3 months for delivery and that's September 2023 as the dealer is quoting you.

However, as the 296 starts taking more line space you have to figure less F8's coming out. I've been saying for quite some time that the factory is not going to build every car that dealers have orders for, guess we will see.

 

If you don’t yet have an allocation (status 10g) I doubt you are getting a car unfortunately. You might ask them about a 296 but my understanding is those orders banks are all filled as well. Sounds very much like this dealer was taking as many deposits as possible in thr hopes allocations would keep coming but I think q1 2023 will be the last f8s built and I doubt any dealer is going to get 8 spider allocations in the next 3-6 months. The good news is there are lots of nice used f8s out there and pricing are creeping down. I hope for your sake that I’m wrong but you should mentally prepare IMO.

 

you don’t go 10g until you have an allocation. Thing to check for is to see if you are in P status. That means pre production and that the factory has acknowledged the order. After P you go 00 then 10g and then finally 10r.

 

I don’t think P or oo for that matter (if that’s a real status I can’t confirm or refute) means anything guaranteed. I’m fairly certain that if you are not 10g whatever you or you dealer is requesting is just a request. You’re not guaranteed a car until you go 10g as that status means the factory has allocated a build under your name.

 

Was told 2 years for a spider when I placed my deposit September 2021.

 

P and 00 are status codes

 

I placed my F8S deposit August 21. My order is status P, no allocation yet.

 

Same here, F8 Spider, ordered in late August 2021. Delivery - probably 2Q 2023
